Could the lightest element in the periodic table be the
answer to the world’s most weighty challenge of decarbonising energy? Hydrogen
is the most abundant element in the Universe and the most energy dense. Burning
it creates clean electricity and heat without generating carbon emissions, but
to utilise it, first it must be released from the organic materials or water
that host it. So how do we capture its potential to create clean energy systems
of the future in a cost-effective way?



In this episode we are working with consultant Mott
MacDonald to explore the possibilities for hydrogen as an energy carrier, an
electricity and heat source and as a long-term option for back-up power
storage. We find out how stranded renewables could lead to cheap green hydrogen
and explore the challenges around cost, safety and the need for leadership on hydrogen
energy policy in the UK.
